Diabetic/hypertension/high cholesterol-restricted lifestyle STINKS!
I've had diabetes for 14 years. Hypertension and high cholesterol came as part of the package. Essentially my carbs are restricted. Can't have too much sodium. Or excess dairy or fat. This goes beyond a "diet" or lifestyle; my food choices affect not just my current health, but am at risk for a host of other diabetes…

You don't have to explain your diet to everyone. Just take ownership.
One of the biggest mistakes people make in the beginning is feeling the need to explain their diet to everyone, or explain why they are not eating this or that in a social situation. There is also the pressure from others, all the "food pushers" in our life. Just don't let them have ownership of what you put into your…

6 mos later - in same boat. HOW TO STAY GOOD ON WEEKENDS?!
I can be really good during the week and then the weekend hits and I'm a mess. I purposely started last Wednesday so that I would have 2 full good days before going into the weekend. I didn't do as bad as I usually do, but it still wasn't that good when I have 100+ lbs to lose. :( Would wearing a tracker on my wrist help?

What about you would surprise us?
If your MFP friends met you in real life what about you would surprise them? I think people would be surprised that I am actually rather short (not quite 5'3"). Perhaps I photograph taller, because I often get comments on my long legs, when they are anything but (everything needs a hem...or high heels...if I don't want to…
